2012 Domaine Drouhin-Laroze Chambertin-Clos de Bèze Grand Cru

The 2012 Chambertin Clos de Beze Grand Cru has a fragrant bouquet with wild strawberry and redcurrant scents, forest floor and wild mint that expands in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with succulent ripe tannins, good acidity and plush blackberry and cassis fruit encasing the finish that is reminiscent of the Bonnes-Mares. Good length here ' this is very fine, though not quite reaching for the stars.
